COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
St. George Summer Ale is our new non-traditional summer seasonal offering. An aggressive late hop character coupled with a medium bodied ale has resulted in a highly-drinkable, thirst-quenching beer. A slight maltiness and perfectly balanced hop bitterness along with it’s classic English hop finish makes this the perfect drink for beating the summer heat. This ale is a very pale golden color with a thick creamy white head.

Appearance: muddy brown, short off-white head, generous lacing. Aroma: oatmeal, muddled pears, dirt, and earthy hops. Taste: brown toast, wet cardboard, sour fruit, dust, and slightly floral hops. Finish: mercifully short. Notes: Just lousy. A confused mess of mediocre flavors combining to be something closing in on disgusting. Not refreshing or light. Certainly not summery. Wouldn’t drink again in any season.

12oz bottle: This one pours a crystal clear, darker golden color. There was a small white head that didn’t linger long. Lighter, but decent aroma. Faint malts, grassy and earthy. The taste is not bad. Little on the lighter side, but it is a summer beer. Fairly crisp and clean. Just a hint of bitterness, with a bit of a biscuit malt taste. I found this very refreshing.

Pretty standard Summer beer. Not too much flavor just lots of water and an easy crisp taste.

Sampled at 4th NoVA Summer Brewfest. Pours clear gold-orange with a medium, frothy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (straw, hay, meal), average spicy hops, and light fruity esters. Flavor is malt with light bitterness. Light body and warmth, medium carbonation with a dry finish.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - MAR 9, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours a pale straw yellowcolor with a dense one finger white head. Faint aroma of grassy wheat, mild citrus hops and yeast. First there is a biscuity taste with sweet and caramel malts coming through, followed by some grassy hop bitterness that carries through the finish. Medium carbonation, light bodied.
